Bauerius ansorgii is a species of gecko, a lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is indigenous to the west coast of Southern Africa.
The specific name, ansorgii, is in honor of William John Ansorge, a physician who collected natural history specimens in Africa.[3]
B. ansorgii is endemic to Angola.[2]
The preferred natural habitats of B. ansorgii are savanna and shrubland, at altitudes of 50–500 m (160–1,640 ft).[1]
B. ansorgii may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 7.5 cm (3.0 in), with a tail 3 cm (1.2 in) long. Dorsally, it is pale grayish brown. Ventrally, it is white with small brown spots. The upper lip is also white.[4]
B. ansorgii is nocturnal. It shelters by day in hollow branches of blackthorn (Senegalia mellifera), the branches having been made hollow by termite activity. It emerges at night to forage.[1]
